ABOUT RETT SYNDROME: 

Imagine your daughter, granddaughter or niece walking and talking like a typical 12 -18 month old. Over time, she loses her ability to talk, walk, loses purposeful use of her hands, screams at night & has seizures. Imagine a parent’s struggle to realize that dreams of college, getting married and having an independent life have been taken away & are replaced with hospital trips & 24 hour care. That’s what Rett syndrome does to little girls and their families.

NOW - Imagine your daughter, granddaughter or niece being free of Rett syndrome – talking and walking once again. Imagine the smiles and happiness returning to the loves of your loved ones who can now live a normal life once again. That is what IRSF is committed to achieving.

  

“For families, the diagnosis of Rett Syndrome is both cataclysmic, life altering and 24-hour lifelong care is required.”
— Dr. Alan Percy, UAB-Birmingham

 

“The International Rett Syndrome Foundation has been an amazing force in advancing our understanding of Rett Syndrome research over the last 25 years. One day, we will have a great treatment for these girls. The “Research to Reality” campaign is a really a great way to capture our state of affairs with Rett syndrome. Research gave us the reality about how important this protein is for brain function.”
— Dr. Monica Justice, Baylor College of Medicine

 

“There is a cure for Rett Syndrome. We are nearly there. And we will get to it, if we have the funding. In my own research, I am carrying out a project that is very cutting-edge. Funding from the International Rett Syndrome Foundation accelerates research at a pace that cannot be matched by the government.”
— Dr. Huda Y. Zoghbi, Baylor College of Medicine
